Rise, Britons, rise, if manhood be not dead; The world's last tempest darkens overhead; The Pope has bless'd him; The Church caress'd him; He triumphs; maybe, we shall stand alone: Britons, guard your own.
His ruthless host is bought with plunder'd gold, By lying priest's the peasant's votes controlled. All freedom vanish'd, The true men banished, He triumphs; maybe, we shall stand alone. Britons, guard your own.
